Take a Free Class

"This loose style is easy to look at. It’s very freeing from the standard style of detail after detail. Andrew Geeson is a master at it. He’s a fine teacher and you can learn from him. He makes learning this style fun."

"Andrew does beautiful loose art tutorials and explains his work so well. He makes it fun and comfortable working with him and he’s always encouraging. Not only will your watercolour improve but you will really enjoy the journey as you work with Andrew."

"I want to thank Andrew Geeson for all of the tutorials that he has provided. My sketching is improving and I’m learning a lot about composition and painting techniques. I bought two pads of Hahnehmüle practice paper, and I finished filling the second today. While each individual piece is reflective of my novice status, taken all together, looking through the journals makes me very happy and gives me a sense of accomplishment. Thank you, Andy Geeson."

"Andrew Geeson’s tutorials are easy to follow. There is an easy flow to them as well. His art uses a technique that looks simple but teaches me so many things about shading, water to paint content, and the joy of making simple subjects looks new and fresh."

"I love Andrew Geeson’s loose watercolour tutorials. His relaxed, fun-loving style makes them so entertaining—and his habit of greeting as many of his audience by name makes us feel as if we are all part of the family. He has really taught me to pay attention to light and shadows—and how their placement creates form loosely, without needing to worry about a ton of details. I’ve only been following Andrew a relatively short time, but I look forward to many more years of loose painting!".

"I've learned SOOO MUCH from Andrew Geeson--from Day 1, he totally gets you onboard with watercolours! He patiently explains everything, while painting and demonstrating in his weekly broadcasts--Andrew always has time for questions--a clear good-natured and funny guy! You'll learn to paint loosely, about colours, compositions, washes, negative painting, various styles and techniques I've been taking courses with Andrew for almost 3 years! FUN!!"

"I subscribe to several online tutors, and Andy is one of the best teachers I've found. Not only do I subscribe to the Loose Watercolour Academy, but now I've added him on Patreon as well. One of my favourite things are the live paint-alongs, which help me feel like I'm actually spending time with others during this pandemic. Also he has a huge selection of tutorials to choose from."

"Three+ years of watercolour painting joy! Thank you Andrew!!"

"I have been enjoying Andy’s watercolour tutorials since April, since the first lockdown. I look forward to his classes every week and love his loose style of painting. I am learning a lot and improving in confidence each week. Thank you very much Andy."

"One of the best events of my life was finding Andy Geeson, that's why I consider myself very lucky."

"A watercolour magician. Andrew's beautiful and relaxed loose style (and personality) is the best I've ever come across. Following his tutorials is like experiencing the unfolding of something very special. A real treasure and genuine master."

"As Tina Turner would sing Simply the Best! Andy’s tutorials and paint alongs on YouTube are always uplifting, educational, and humorous! Once you get to know the “Loose Gang”, it’s hard to live without them."

“I first met Andrew Geeson on a Tuscan painting holiday. He taught me how to put down my ruler, to approach the scene and paint my unique view. He puts everyone at ease, clearly enjoys teaching and gives his students the confidence to try and grow. Since Tuscany, I have taken his classes in Northern England, Wales and his weekly tutorials. Andrew brings joy during a tough time and I look forward to the time where we can travel and have an in-person class!”

"I found Andrew Geeson's loose watercolour tutorials quite by accident on YouTube in late 2017. After watching the first video, I was enchanted by the beauty of his watercolour painting and the simplicity of achieving it. His clear, unfussy instruction is a breath of fresh air. He jokes, he sings and tells funny stories all in the service of relaxing his audience so we can enjoy the process of watercolour painting. I have grown so much as an artist listening to Andy rather than the critical voice that used to plague my creative efforts."

"Andrew Geeson’s tutorials have been an integral part of my watercolour journey. I started painting 18 months ago. I was so excited when I came across them. He’s taught me to loosen up. Something I struggled with prior. I’ve enjoyed each and every class. They are fun and easy to follow. My paintings have improved tenfold and I’m so grateful I found him."

"3 years ago, I saw Andrew Geeson’s watercolours for the first time. I was fascinated by this style that I tried to use in my work. And although I go my own way, which is not true to one principle and style, I occasionally enjoy live sessions with real pleasure. Thank you Andy Geeson."

"Not only am I a happy participant in Andy’s online classes via loosewatercolours.com, I have also had the pleasure of meeting him in person at a 2019 watercolour workshop. Andy is one of those unique individuals who not only is a watercolour genius but he can also bring teaching down to a level for beginners. He genuinely tries to help each student attain their very best results and is so patient. He has a quick wit and a fun, loose style. I highly recommend Andy’s tutorials and I always mention them to my friends who want to learn to paint more loosely. He is one of my favourite teachers."

"I enrolled at loosewatercolours.com. I was very happy with the many tutorials I found there. There’s something for every level. I started with beginner tutorials and I’ve learned useful sketching techniques, selecting and preparing a colour palette, using colour and value in exciting ways, and composition. I also enjoy the occasional live sessions. (Edit and use as you like, Andy)."

"Vor der Aquarellmalerei hatte ich einen riesigen Respekt. Nie hätte ich gedacht, dass ich gescheite Bilder zustande bringe. Aber es gibt eine große Auswahl an Themen bei den Tutorials mit verschiedenen Schwierigkeitsgraden. Da ist wirklich für jeden was dabei. Man kann den Tutorials sehr gut folgen, hat Spaß und Erfolgserlebnisse. Andrew ist ein sehr guter Lehrer."

"I tried a few other tutorials before I tried Andy’s. I signed up for 6-months and I plan on continuing. I love the loose style, Andy is a great teacher, it’s fun and we are always learning! Every lesson is new and exciting."

"Andrew Geeson is an amazing teacher! This course really helps to develop understanding and improvement of one's skills. I highly recommend. Classes are fun and entertaining!"

"Thank you Andrew Geeson for your never ending inspiration, support and tutorage! Always such a pleasure to paint after your style. Your videos are wonderful in all ways!"

"I signed up for the 6-month tutorial plan and have LOVED it. Andrew’s teaching style is relaxed, inspiring, and fun! His tutorials I have helped loosen my painting (a bit, still more learning needed, lol) and that was my goal. Hooray! Highly, highly recommend"
